Remember everyone, love is blind

by Severa Sebasteia

"Baresh, ahm havin a bit of trouble out there in M'riss." The bartender raises an eyebrow and allows her to continue. "It seems ah've gone an gotten engaged to tha most hated man on tha island. Ahm constantly bein told ta find a better husband an ah know Veegeslas is a brute but ah love him!"

She sighs and downs her windhaze in one gulp. "Ye should see him when we're alone, he's gentle as a kitten! All ahm saying is that ah know how others feel about mah Veegie an ah understand it. He's a brute. But he's mah brute an ye jes can't choose who ye love."

Baresh nods appreciatively at this. "already ah can't invite some dear friends to tha wedding because they hate him so an ahm jes askin that people try ta look a little more fondly on him for mah sake."

She chuckles at this next thought. "Ahm not able ta keep mah future husband in line much, but ah sure try. Ah guess ah've always loved tha savage type. Tis mah curse!"

Her eyes twinkle at the thought of her Beastly barbarian.

"All ah know is that opposites indeed attract, an Veegie gives me more fun than anyone in tha realms. So if ye please, pass on tha news that ah love mah barb an nothin is goin ta change it, as right or wrong as it is.

She tosses a few bloodstones into her empty glass and turns away with a tired chuckle, exiting the bar.
